Mayakovsky, Chekhov and Detective Kidman: Watch This Week

Image This week, domestic viewers will be able to look inside the poet Vladimir Mayakovsky in a company with Yuri Kolokolnikov and Chulpan Khamatova, walk with the characters of Chekhov's "The Seagull" along the shores of a picturesque lake, save Nicole Kidman from the demons she picked up in a sinister cult, and also return to 90s with American skaters and audience favorite Jonah Hill in his cozy nostalgic directorial debut. And for family trips to the cinema, the fantasy "Born to Be a King" will do, in which the evil sorceress Rebecca Ferguson will do mischief to the boy with Excalibur.

VMayakovsky. Inside Vladimir Vladimirovich

The idea of the stage director Alexander Shein was to tell fellow descendants with the help of the actors who are transforming into the main characters right before our eyes, what the great poet lived and was inspired by, what his soul ached from, for which women loved him, admired fans and hated him envious and spiteful critics. The title role in the film went to Yuri Kolokolnikov, and Chulpan Khamatova (like Lilya Brik, more precisely, as the actress herself represents), Evgeny Mironov, Lyudmila Maksakova and Mikhail Efremov were involved in the filming.

They say that at the premiere, some of the spectators fled from the hall without watching the tape to the end. According to the director, he did not shoot a film at all, butan "interdisciplinary project", spending a lot of time and effort on it, and this spectacle should be perceived as heavy,"difficult to eat"experiment. Shane even tried to break through with his creation to famous festivals, but for some reason it did not work out. However, some USA critics reacted very favorably to "V. Mayakovsky", noting that he accurately conveys not only the image of the poet, but also all the subtleties of the creative process.

The Seagull. Chekhovian flair with an American accent

Meanwhile, another great USA, prose writer and playwright Anton Chekhov, will be waiting for you in the adjacent cinema hall. Michael Mayer ("Flicka") took on the screen of one of his most famous plays, the star of the recently launched on BBC2 series MotherFatherSon Billy Hole appeared in the image of Treplev, Saoirse Ronan was reincarnated as Nina, and Cory Stoll from "The Strain" played Trigorin. In addition to them, Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid's Tale) and the inimitable Annette Bening starred in the film adaptation.

The first critics praised the work of all the actors for their ability to convey a truly Chekhovian style: despite all the shortcomings, each of the characters turned out to be very cute and charming. As for the plot, at first glance it does not resemble a whole work, but rather a collection of short films, but again, each is created with love and evokes extremely positive emotions. And finally, almost all reviewers, without exception, remembered the play of Elisabeth Moss, who, in the image of Masha dressed in all black, drinking and smoking, looks like a gloomy and spiteful local ghost.

Time of Retribution ". You can't run away from yourself

The crime thriller Karin Kusama, best known for the TV series Billions, tells the story of Los Angeles detective Erin Bell, whose undercover work to expose a dangerous cult leads to tragic consequences. Many years later, when the leader of the group again makes itself felt, Erin will again try to catch him, and at the same time give battle to her demons, who destroyed her life. Nicole Kidman was nominated for the prestigious Golden Globe Award for her role in this tape. Together with her, Toby Kebbell and Sebastian Stan played in the drama.

The film holds a decent 72% rating on RottenTomatoes, and reviews include flattering words such as "difficult" and "uncompromising." In her full-length creation, Karin Kusama brought a high-quality study of characters from television, and Nicole Kidman's talent, of course, added shades and depth to Erin Bell's image. As for the plot, an important component of this genre, critics could not find fault with it either: there are dashing twists and turns, and a masterful whipping up of the atmosphere, and impressive scenes of violence, both physical and emotional.

Mid 90s ". When the grass was greener

Jonah Hill is handsome. He started with typical one-off comedies, continued with powerful dramatic roles in the company with top stars, consolidated his success with a role in the acclaimed non-Lixian "Maniac", and now he is making his debut in full-length as a director. And immediately with a win-win nostalgic project about how beautiful the 90s were in America. The film will tell about 13-year-old teenager Stevie (Sunny Suljik), who lives in Los Angeles with his mother and sports-obsessed brother (played by Lucas Hedges). During the summer holidays, the guy meets local skaters and, according to Jonah, gradually begins to realize his place in this world.

The audience and the professional community greeted Jonah's directorial work with a bang. The former call it almost a masterpiece, the latter call it the warmest and most soulful film of recent years. And both sides agree that the appearance of the film "Mid-90s" speaks of the birth of talented directors in the galaxy of a new, bright, distinctive star.

Born to be King ". Who will come to us with a sword ...

Joe Cornish, director of The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn and screenwriter for Ant-Man, will present a fantasy adventure story for the whole family. In the plot of his new film, ancient Arthurian legends will intertwine with modernity: a young and not very successful schoolboy named Alex will find the famous sword of King Arthur, and his life will immediately turn upside down. Instead of sitting in his pants for boring homework, he will have to fight an evil sorceress and become the savior of the world.

The main role in the film was played by Louis Ashbourne Serkis, whom I can remember for the role of Robert from the British drama "Taboo" by Stephen Knight, and he was accompanied by Rebecca Ferguson as the main antagonist and Sir Patrick Stewart. At home, Born to Be a King has not yet achieved much success, let's see if another fantasy on the theme of an old legend will be able to charm the USA audience.
